Unfortunately, everyone has gone Chloe Clarke mad and Emily finds her 'sworn enemy' Zuzanna has had the same idea. Getting and keeping Chloe as a friend proves a lot more troublesome than Emily anticipated and leads her into a whole new set of disasters . . . BUY IT ON AMAZON
Review: Emily's Mum is having a baby, and Emily's best friend has gone to live in Wales. Regularly, Emily uses skype to contact Bella. Bella is having a brilliant time, but Emily is not. Emily's Mum has not thought of a name for her baby, but Emily secretly calls it Yoda, because she thinks the baby looks like this character from Star Wars. Emily is going on a school trip with her class, but she has been partnered with Gross Out Gavin. A new rich spoilt girl moves to Emily's school and Emily is trying to get her to be her best friend so she can partner her on the school trip, but Emily is in completion with Zuzanna. On the school trip the class find out about Tudor times, and at the end Emily does a brilliant shot in archery and this makes her popular. I enjoyed reading this book because it was fun. I liked the bits when Emily and Bella were meeting each other on skype, and Emily was worried that Bella would make new friends and leave her behind. My favourite part is the cake contest. Zuzannah threw the eggs on the floor because they were out of date, and that meant that the cake turned out hard and crusty. The new girl buys a cake from a cafe, but she gets found out by the teachers, and so her team doesn't win the cake contest. This book would be liked by girls age 9-12 because it is about girls aged 11 and their friendships. I would give this book 4 and 1/2 stars out of 5.

Published by: QEB Publishing; Act edition Number Puzzles will really test the reader's maths skills, including everything from simple number squares to punishing number patterns. Numbers (Brain-Busting Puzzles)
Review: This book has lots of good puzzles with different fun themes. Each one has a problem to solve and takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Some are harder than others. I would recommend this for children 8 -11 years old. You need to know tricky times tables to do this - my Mum had to help me with some of them. If you like doing maths puzzles you will love this - maths is my favourite subject. I would give this book 4 out of 5.
